The New Zealand – Thai Chamber of Commerce has announced the expansion of its presence to the Eastern Seaboard and Pattaya areas.

New elected committee member Richard Prouse (of the Sutlet Group, who opened their Pattaya branch recently), will be the local representative for the Chamber. Mr. Prouse says “This is an exciting period of growth for the New Zealand – Thai Chamber of Commerce. We are looking forward to working with local Kiwi firms and raising the awareness of what the chamber can offer to local New Zealand run businesses”.

Now in it's 15th year, the New Zealand – Thai Chamber of Commerce has developed a reputation for it's professional approach and events, resulting in membership now totaling over 125 companies throughout Thailand.

Mr. Prouse advises that there will be a Pattaya and Eastern Seaboard networking evening on Thursday December 9th at the Amari Orchid, Beach Road, Pattaya (in the Garden Lounge 6.30pm to 8.30pm) and that all are encouraged to attend and learn how the chamber can work with you in this part of Thailand. The networking event will be the first of several meetings held in the coming months and provides an ideal opportunity for interested parties to meet some of the committee members and talk to other local businessmen and women.

This week Sutlet Group moved it's entire office management and email system to IBM Lotus Notes 8.5, with the expert assistance of Evergreen Comware Co., Ltd.. The move was made to provide more accessibility to information, greater accountability amongst staff and, most importantly, allow us the opportunity to further enhance our relationships with customers.

All Sutlet Group team members, including those from FCA (Thailand) and PB Legal Services are now all able to access incredible funtionality with regards their email, tasks and calendars but also within new applications called ContactPower, SalesPower and PeoplePower (all developed by Evergreen Comware to work within Lotus Notes itself). Additionally, all staff are able to communicate 'live' via the internal "SameTime" chat software, facilitating the faster transition of information.

A major benefit to the move is that of security. The IBM Domino server is exceptionally secure, especially behind our CyberRoam firewall, and the Lotus Notes program itself is fair more secure than it's Microsoft-based equivalents.

All in all, management, employees and customers will benefit with this move - it's another step towards achieving our goals in Thailand and beyond.
